I'm not sure if this goes in General Chat or in Forum Complaints and Issues, but I'm not sure what I am supposed to do right now as I have been getting forwarded at random to different websites that say 'Urgent Firefox update' while I am either trying to do some customization on my own forum, making a post, or just trying to read threads and posts. The 'Urgent Firefox update' page that I end up seeing looks like this: I have been trying to use the Ad Reporting Tool on the Proboards Support forum to report it even time it happens since I believe it is a certain ad that triggers this behavior, but I have lately been getting the 'No ads to report' error message for some reason instead. I also have had a topic going about this on the ProBoards Support forum which is called ' Got forwarded to eitoodomain.org with an attempted download' and was getting told by an admin that its not necessary to be posting there when it happens, but what if I couldn't report it due to getting the 'No ads to report' error message? Also, since most of the domains are pointing to IPs in the 206.221.189.XXX range that appears to be owned by ReliableSite.Net LLC, I have also been sending complaints to their Abuse Department about this issue as well hoping something would be done about it, yet it seems to still be happening at random even though I run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware ever time it happens as I have been suggested to do so, but the results is always the same with no infections found. I'm not sure what else to do about this annoyance other than I have been keeping a record of what the domains are that I have been randomly forwarded to with the 'Urgent Firefox update' page, which I have listed below in case you want to know what they were. - eitoodomain.org
- nichufreevectordownload.net
- feipinofa.net
- einothelptheneedy.net
- shixueroski.net
- afahshowtosay.net
- kohphcctcct.net
- tahvashemale-japan.net
- ahquiurltv.net
- oosueuwantfans.net
Right now, I hope someone might be willing to talk to me here to see what my options might be at this time.

I never use Firefox so I haven't seen this issue but sounds like it's a virus of some sort.

That's must be really annoying, I'm on my iPhone right now but I'll have to check on chrome when I get home from the lake.

Yeah, it is really annoying that it happens randomly when I viewing and doing stuff on Proboards including sometimes while on this here forum, and have already linked to a topic before on the support forum showing that I have been trying to take this up with the Proboards Admins. On top of that, also filing complaints with ReliableSite.Net LLC's Abuse Department in hope something would be done about it since most of the domains I have encountered with this were pointing to a single IP Range belonging to ReliableSite.Net LLC.
